Droplet Backup Disabled
Risk Level: High
Description:
This plugin ensures DigitalOcean droplet's backup is enabled. Droplets can have backups in the form of snapshots that create a point-in-time image based on the current state of a Droplet. To avoid data loss, it is recommended to have backups for all Droplets.
